    This game is pure bliss for an older gamer who grew up on the 1987 cartoon. Turtles in Time has been dethroned!

    Awesome, except I don't know why they changed the rhythm of lyric delivery in some sections in the theme song cover. I don't care that taunt can be spammed, maybe it'll be changed maybe it won't, but if it really bothers you, play gnarly difficulty in arcade mode and get back to me. First playthrough was in 5p coop and it was a blast. Already replaying it.

    Pura nostalgia... empecé a jugarlo y no pare hasta terminarlo... tiene mil millones de detalles, enemigos, movimientos, frases, boses.... y las nuevas mecánicas están implementadas de diez. Para mi un obligatorio incluso para los que no jugaron a los anteriores.

    Отличная игра, вернула в детство. Стиль тгр 80-90х сохранен. Геймплей и управление тоже на уровне. Рекомендую не только любителям черепашек, но и забористых битэмапов. Можно смело ставить на один уровень с Streets of Rage 4.

    Absolutely amazing experience to see and play. The characters are back in that '90s style beat'em up which reminds me a lot of Turtles in Time. Turtles in Time on SNES was amazing and STILL is. Shredder's Revenge revamps the experience back in the modern era and brings you back to playing Turtles in Time all over again.

    All the enemies & boss designs are amazing and bring each of their own unique challenges.

    The Soundtrack is quite something, I've had to of heard it all the way through at least 10 times now equaling 10 hrs overall (roughly 1 hr).

    Highly recommend a purchase of Shredder's Revenge if you desire a classic Turtles experience in the modern era with a banging soundtrack and amazing fighting mechanics.

    I will give this game 9.5 out of 10 in the beat them up genre.

    Pros: Exceptionally art style. Designing a simple and stand-out character is very hard, especially since you need to keep it aligned with existing art. Extremely good sound track. Very good hit feedback. Plenty of moves to use. Good pacing for each level. Good length.

    Good reliability. Do you want to try something diff? You can. You want to drop the game, you can!
    Good mode selection, story and arcarde, there could be more mode, like rouge surviver. But with the offering, can't complain.
    Good and simple character progression system.
    Extreme good point, supports up to six player local and online play together. Is it very chaos? Yes, is it fun, damn that's right!

    Con:
    Latency, loss of connection is an issue.
    Combo is a little stiff.    … Expand

    Best beat and up today, the best ninja turtles game of the last decades too. Gameplay, graphics, art direction and replay factor = 10. So far nine playable characters, story mode and arcade mode with Coop for up to six players. Ultimate turtles. I hope the game has more DLCs.

    It's a great, great, great, great, great game - but not perfect, as it's way too easy... once you get a hang of your turtle, rat or April, the enemies and bosses stand zero chance - especially once you've levelled up a bit.

    Splendido, molto curato.
    Temevo due cose: 1) Che fosse un gioco che si reggesse solo sulla nostalgia 2) di essere troppo vecchio e smaliziato per un picchiaduro arcade.
    i timori erano infondati: è un ottimo passatempo. Molto giocabile, rapido, dal sistema di combattimento soddisfacente. Entrare ed uscire dal gioco con altri giocatori connessi è rapido e semplice, ed ora che il gioco è    Splendido, molto curato.

    Molto giocabile, rapido, dal sistema di combattimento soddisfacente.
    Entrare ed uscire dal gioco con altri giocatori connessi è rapido e semplice, ed ora che il gioco è appena uscito si trova sempre qualcuno con cui fare una partita, con attese quasi nulle...ed è molto godibile in gruppo.
    Pieno di citazioni e riferimenti al cartone anni 80 ed al film, sempre anni 80.
    C'è qualche bug in fase di multiplayer online, che blocca il gioco all'avvio di un livello ogni tanto....ma niente di tragico...basta lasciare la partita e ricominciare (senza nemmeno riavviare il gioco) per sistemare tutto.
    Ottimo prodotto, tra l'altro pagato pochissimo con l'xbox gamepass per pc.
    Gamepad oppure Fighting stick (anche economico ) raccomandatissimo, quasi obbligatorio.
    Ovviamente parliamo di un gioco ARCADE, che omaggia la vecchia scuola....io giocavo questo genere di giochi più di ventanni fà in sala giochi e sono abituato, i giocatori più giovani sono avvisati.
    E simile ad i picchiaduro "rapidi" come Street of rage, Vendetta, The Punisher, Cadillac and Dinosaurs ....(più rapido di un Double Dragon o Golden Axe).
    in due o tre giorni si finisce la trama principale.... ma rimane divertente anche una volta finito.
    Rapido da avviare, si sceglie un livello da rigiocare e via.... è divertente rigocarci.
    La longevità è allungata dal cercare punteggi più alti, provare altri personaggi, sbloccare trofei, far salire di livello uno dei protagonisti, vedere le diverse schermate finali ecc

    Extremely fun. Never been particularly interested in this genre but I had a blast playing through the whole story with random people. The combat system is just great. Definitely give it a try with game pass, even if it's not your thing. Super nostalgic with amazing music. Loved it.

    The good old Beat'em Ups are coming back.

    TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is a very fun game, especially if, like me, you are a fan of the classic beat em up games from the 90s. It is safe to say it’s one of the best TMNT games, of course not that hard to achieve since it’s been quite a while. Some of the classics, like Turtles in Time or Hyperstone Heist, were also very good games, for    The good old Beat'em Ups are coming back.

    TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is a very fun game, especially if, like me, you are a fan of the classic beat em up games from the 90s. It is safe to say it’s one of the best TMNT games, of course not that hard to achieve since it’s been quite a while.

    Some of the classics, like Turtles in Time or Hyperstone Heist, were also very good games, for their time, but they all had big issues when it comes to hit detection (I guess what we would call "hitbox detection" today), and this is mostly improved in Shredder’s Revenge, but it’s still not completely perfect, and we’re still going to get a few surprises here and there or unexpected hits coming from way off or position in the axis, and this is particularly evident in the hardest difficulty setting, where every hit we get hurts a lot.

    Continuing on the difficulty aspect, I think Normal is far so easy, whereas the next one available, which is called Gnarly, feels too punishing, and clearly the game was not properly balanced for this one, much.
    I feel the other great modern beat’em up game we got recently, Streets of Rage 4, manages difficulties quite a bit better, at least from Normal to Hard, and even going to Mania, you can feel the difficulty curve being smoother, so to speak, like there’s a much better "difficulty progression", if that makes any sense.

    That said, apart from that detail that could easily be tweaked and patched in the future, the game is pretty awesome and enjoyable.

    Performance wise, this game seems pretty easy to run and I encountered zero issues on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, which clearly is way more than enough PC a game like this needs, but I experienced zero frame drops or anything like that, it’s pretty much all the way.

    Moving on to the game’s Controls and how it feels in action, I think the improvement over the classic games is quite massive here: we have lots of different movements we can use, and none of them are particularly difficult to execute, they’re pretty simple and we have an interactive tutorial to learn all about these moves.

    The game offers six initial playable characters, and a seventh one unlocked after finishing the Story Mode, and that’s is a very nice amount of characters, compared to most beat’em up games, certainly, at least on release.

    The Graphics are nicely done and the UI is easily readable but, if anything, it would’ve been great to have some retro, CRT style, shaders available to use, as those would fit pretty well with the visual design in this game, even though the clean pixel design is quite well done as it is.

    The Music is absolutely amazing too, I can never get tired of it and just like in the old school games, the soundtrack is a crucial part of the experience when playing each level, and this game really delivers there, for sure.

    One final last flaw in the game though, the multiplayer has some cross-play related issues at the moment when it comes to Steam-Gamepass crossplay, in game it’s not currently possible to find online players other than those from the Epic Games version, no Steam or Gamepass players are shown currently, and it seems to be a known issue due to certain versions needing an update.
    Furthermore, it does seem that in order to connect with Gamepass players, both Steam and Gamepass owners need to link their…Epic Games accounts, then invite using the Epic UI in game, a bit…weird, but again the developers have mentioned that it does seem that the Gamepass version needs an update.

    All in all, this is another must have beat’em up, especially if you liked the classic games, or more recently Streets of Rage 4, this one is quite good too; SoR 4 still feels like the more complete and bigger game, clearly with higher budget, but TMTN: Shredder’s Revenge is a pretty solid and affordable game in the genre, and quite enjoyable to play.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The main question is, do you need a big budget to make a really good game? Of course not. When you got ideas and proper execution this is what we get, probably the best TMNT game. The big hit of nostalgia is at your fingertips. Design, Gameplay, Music, everything here is just great, the game has a cool story mode with really great co-op, and high replay value, especially with friends, since u can level up all available characters up to level 10. We got some collectibles to find across the levels, and boss fights, and all this is served in two classic modes (Story and Arcade).. Finally, we got a little diamond among the puke that AAA studios served us lately (Diablo Immortal, Warcraft III: Reforged, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA Trilogy, and so on). Pure fun and joy, this is what u get when u decide to buy this game. Remember game folks and greedy devs, gameplay and pure fun are always above graphics and big-budget, and here we got a good example. The last thing I can say is that we can only wait for the sequel. Cowabunga!… Expand

    Shredder’s Revenge is one big nostalgia trip that doesn’t even try to do something more – like offering actually good and nuanced beat’em up experience, for example. [Issue#260, p.52]

    Besides the 6-player co-op mode, very little reminds us that this game debuted in 2022. Shredder’s Revenge lifts most of its ideas verbatim from the arcade classics, sprinkling some modern niceties and a handful of minor bugs. If you can recite the TMNT theme song by memory, this is definitely your game.

    TMNT: Shredder's Revenge is a fantastic love letter to the Turtles' arcade and SNES classics from the 90s. The introduction of modern gameplay elements makes this a reinvigorated take on the classic genre that expertly balances contemporary expectations with nostalgia.
